This is my first exposure to the music, but its repetition is actually very appealing to me, like it could induce a trance. I, for one, am tempted to go out and pick up a recording.
Johnny-one-note drove me crazy….no, I don’t like it at all.
I felt the urge to weep while watching the video. The music interwoven with the story was compelling. It made me wish I was one of the performers working on the piece.
Thank you for highlighting this.
